A7V133 and Athlon XP compatible?

[dejansen]

I'm getting conflicting info... Can I use an XP on a A7V133? If yes, is there a minimum BIOS version I must use?

Thanks,
David

What is the revision of your board?? If it's 1.04 and above, it should support as long as you have the latest BIOS.

Thanks.

technically only mobo version 1.005. note the last dot "truly" supports the Athlon XP...however with that said I believe BIOS version 1.007 should fully support the Athlon XP ..but you will need the fsb to 133 by jumper to get to work best for all reports I have seen...I used to own the mobo but when I upgraded to the Athlon XP I went to Abit KR7A-RAID..loved the A7V133 very solid stable board

Thanks for the info. I was just wondering. I have a Soltek and ECS K75SA with Athlon XPs but I just love the A7V133 and don't really want to get rid of it but if it's a hassle to pop a XP in there, I'll have to sell it or pass it down to a friend/relative to use with an Athlon.

Thanks again,
David

I am running my XP 1900+ on the A7V133 motherboard with no problems. By the way, I used the jumper to set the FSB and multiplier.

i concur with cmamath... manual jumpers for this one to work right.

I've got an XP2000+ on a 1.04 revision board, jumperless mode..... hey don't ask me why.... but it just works! 🙂

You need bios 1007 minimum. The new 1008 release just came out.

Like I said, conflicting information...

Anyway, I sold the A7V133.

Thanks,

I'm running my athlon xp 1500 on my Abit KT7-RAID (kt133) @ 106 x 12.5

so if it works on this motherboard which doesn't officially support XP, and is a kt133 chipset, then for sure it'll work on your a7v133
it'll probably even work on old school a7v, as that board is kt133 like mine (-:
